I'm so nervous. I have to go to Hanoi to apply tomorrow. Is there anything I should pay special attention to?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user expressed nervousness about applying for a Thai visa in Hanoi and asked for advice. Other users offered encouragement and shared their experiences. Key considerations mentioned include having all necessary documents, such as proof of finances and course details for Muay Thai lessons, and being aware that visa processing might take 3-7 days. One user also noted a mistake made in their application form regarding previous visits to Thailand, seeking advice on how to correct it.

Kiii345 according to their website they are only closed on the 12th but inside Thailand both 11th and 12th are holidays. At worst it just means an extra couple of days processing time

Kiii345 Just submit straight away anyway. I have seen people here receive approvals out of office hours, including weekends so I think some level of processing might be ongoing, even out of office hours. I got mine in Hanoi in 10 days but that included one request for further documents and a weekend. Enjoy a beer by a lake at sunset. Good luck!

I've looked it up. I've prepared all the documents. I've also prepared a letter explaining my finances, including six months of monthly statements. Six months is enough money. Applying for Muay Thai classes should be enough.
